Analysis of the colors clothing of Hazrat Ali's illustrations in Kavarannama based on the views of 'Ala' al-Dawla Simnani
Abstract
This research analyzes the colors of the illustrations of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in Khavaran-nama based on the views of 'Ala' al-Dawla Simnani. The remarkable approach of Muslim sages and mystics to "color", ended up to subtle meanings and delicate concepts of this artistic element that can be seen in Iranian-Islamic arts, including Iranian painting. Ala Al-Dowleh Semnani is one of the most important Iranian mystics who has mystical reflection and attention to color and has used colors a lot in his Nourieh treatise which describes the journey and behavior of seekers. Khavaran-nama is one of the valuable works in the history of Iranian painting, which includes the admirable paintings of a painter named Farhad. Considering that Khavaran-nama has a theme for all Shiites, it seems that the painter has also benefited from mystical concepts. Therefore, in this study, the researcher seeks to answer the question that 1. Has the views (Opinions) of Ala Al-Dawla Simnani had an effect on the use of Imam Ali pictorial color illustrations in the Khavaran-nama? By examining the opinions of Ala Al-Dawla Simnani regarding color, he tries to show the mystical representation of color in the pictorial drawings of Imam Ali (peace must be upon him) in Khavaran-nama. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting materials is a library collection. Farhad, by using distinctive and bright colors, has used them in the service of the core meaning, and according to the Shiite theme, it can be said that referring to Shiite and mystical sources of color has been very probable.
